I should probably give it a rest to avoid becoming the new Dimi in this thread, but I do want to say that I see similarities in what people are saying here to things people say about the players. Suggesting that the council just needs to make better decisions and 'sort it out' is all that is...

I don't think they have made the most of it, although the refurbishment of the LC a good few years ago and the more recent building of the Arena have at least been an attempt to link the city centre to the coast. Decisions made many years ago like building the concrete horror that is the Civic...

Probably because reviving shopping in the centre of Swansea to the point where they deem the risk worth it is an economic impossibility at this point in time. If anyone actually knows how to make that work, I'm sure councils all across the country would love to know about it. I was up in...

All a matter of perspective I suppose. I do think it's telling that for all the negative opinions expressed, no-one has come up with a single practical solution for sorting it out other than what is being attempted currently.

See Bielsa, Marcelo as a potentially useful comparison.

Someone bought me their Perfect Pies book years ago. Don't make it as much these days as I'm trying to lose weight rather than put it on, but their steak and ale pie from that book is one of my absolute favourite meals to make and eat.

Here's a topic that we can all be happy on! :) I will check out the website you linked, cheers. Love cooking and finding new recipes. I've found quite a few I've enjoyed recently on the Slimming Eats website, especially this one which I will be making when we have friends over tomorrow...

Still yet more complaining with no evidence of how the city centre is worse than it was except for less shops, with still no suggestions on what could realistically be done other than what is being done. Feels like complaining for the sake of it at this point. Also, the Arena has been finished...

Fair enough if you're done, but did you not see the list of everything that been built/improved in recent years? If you can't acknowledge a massive amount of work has gone on that has improved things and can only concentrate on the retail options, then we can't really have a sensible discussion...

I'm sure they are, but it's obviously not as simple as pointing at them and saying 'we should just do that'. You know as well as I do that lots of different things factor into what makes a city centre successful, such as economic conditions, location, population size, on and on. So far in this...

I've probably told this story before, but a project I was working for about 12 years ago was slotted in under the remit of the city centre manager and he told us about the lengths they were going to in an attempt to attract Waitrose to open in Parc Tawe 2. They put together an incredible package...

While I certainly don't think the council makes consistently good decisions, they are the ones trying things. Someone moaned about not making more of our time in the PL, it was the council who paid to plaster images of Gower all over London Underground stations and promoted Swansea all over the...

That post will probably need some context for anyone to see the point you're making. If it's that Shrewsbury town centre is really good for retail in contrast to Swansea, a quick look would suggest being the only decent sized town in Shropshire would help, as would it remaining untouched in...

That post brilliantly sums up the issue facing the majority of most town/city centres. Retailers have moved to out of town shopping like Trostre and MacArthur Glenn as rents are cheaper, units are bigger, parking on the doorstep, etc. Every retailer moving out of centres means there's less and...

I think our best midfield has Yalcouye in it, but he's probably not going to be here next season. We're unlikely to go up or down, so should we focus on playing the midfielders more likely to be here next season? No offence to the players who started, but the difference in the second half in...
